    Do a backstory of where the balls go after they hit the wall

      I do wonder where they end up or when they get taken out. Does someone go after every game after watching replays from that game to know where to look? Or do they wait until fall or winter for the leaves to fall out so they can see them easier?

      You know that scene in The Simpsons where it shows where the bowling pins go after each frame? It's that.

    When the cubs bat they drop the walls so that the ball doesn’t get stuck in there and when opposing teams are batting they raise the lower wall so the ball can get stuck there and limit them to a double.

      Ethan Hewitt Not classic when the ball gets lodged in it and stops the runners.
